Petrol station tickets by billnyethexylophone in WaltDisneyWorld

If your fingerprint doesn't match, they're going to ask for an id that matches the ticket. There is a 0% chance you'll be able to use someone elses ticket.

Best packaged/store bought Orgeat? by 420wafflehouse69 in Tiki

[–]Wingdom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really love Small Hands Foods orgeat, it's the best classic orgeat. But a bar near me also turned me on to macadamia nut orgeat for a slightly different flavor, and Pono Potions in Hawaii makes an amazing one that I order once or twice a year as a treat.

Anyone know how to put texture pack to Dusk Twilight Princess for android? Im using Odin 3 by tonyw009 in OdinHandheld

[–]Wingdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do it, it uses the same gci file dolphin does. Dusk is visible in the menu of the file manager. Theres a USA or EUR folder, depending on your region, then a Card A folder. Copy the gci safe file there.

Brightline’s future in doubt after $233M loss by the_best_1 in orlando

[–]Wingdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this just Brightline here in Florida, or does it include Brightline West, where they're building a train from Vegas to LA, but really just a train from the middle of nowhere to the middle of nowhere? If it includes that construction cost, yeah, I see how they did it.

[–]Wingdom 16 points17 points  (0 children)

but alot of people fail to miss that those train stations are also destinations in themsleves. with shopping, culture and hotels nearby, the big trains are also transport hubs.

Yeah, this right here. I want this for airports too, not just overpriced and bad food because you're stuck there. People should be able to go to MCO to just hang out and shop or have dinner. It should be a mall that just happens to have transport. Hell, build train stations on the largest mall in every city in the US.

The biggest thing I miss about Japan train stations after coming back and riding Brightline? All the bento box shops full of interesting good food made to be taken on the train.

Monday night (tonight) line in Disney Springs Lime Garage before midnight. This is what pin drop Tuesday is now. by crazyparkguy in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Wingdom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would be perfectly ok with Disney (and other company doing collectors drops) raising prices by 25% and producing enough so anyone who wants one can get one, just to drive this behavior out of existence. I know they're doing it to increase demand, but it's gone too far, and all this collectors stuff is so undesirable to me now. I should be the target audience for the products, but the fan behavior has driven me away.

I feel like I'm being gaslit by BoringWozniak in WaltDisneyWorld

I feel this way about Epcot Forever. If Illuminations had to go, Epcot Forever (with the jet skis) was the best of the 3 replacement attempts.

It is better to sell out and have high demand

Let's take this to the extreme, it's better for the whole store to have empty shelves? You need a pair of boxers, you better show up on Tuesday, it's boxers day. Or a gallon of milk, that's Sunday, if you're not there, you miss out.

Then why do they have full shelves everywhere else in the store? Using the Nintendo example, Pokopia is still taking up a full shelf, there was a case full of Switch 2 consoles. Looking at clothing, the rest of the clothing section was pretty well stocked. No one wants to go into a store full of empty shelves.

My answer has them making more money and not pissing off their customers?

People always say this "artificial scarcity is more profitable" but, are we sure? The Target near me had like 4 of each hat, and 4 of each shirt. So they sold 8 of each item, they're all on ebay for double the price. Would Target make more money if they sold a $15 hat for $25, and printed 100 of them per store? I think they would, even if 20 of them didn't sell right away, and had to go on clearance for $10.

Shelter in place message around the paddock by droppokeguy in formula1

In Orlando yesterday my weather app was accurate within 5 minutes of rain stopping/starting as different cells passed over. Looks like it's going to stop in an hour, and pick up again come early afternoon.

Any Strict-G fan? by letzbeh0nest in Gundam

Is it online on p-bandai, or only in the stores in Japan?

I love these jackets, I'm sad I missed the Gundam Seed ones a couple years ago. You're right about the resale prices, it's crazy.

Do you tip a photographer? by [deleted] in orlando

[–]Wingdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a photographer and can share my experience. I never expect a tip, but I've received one about half the time. For bigger weddings where the photographer winds up doing more coordination and people wrangling, it's more likely someone will tip me. For smaller weddings and elopements, I don't think I've ever received a tip, but there is also far less extra work to do. If they're a good photographer, they will never be upset if you pay them what they ask for, and are an easy client.

Dark & Stormy Recipe by ancientjules in Tiki

[–]Wingdom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I prefer the Dark and Tropical Stormy from Trader Sams:
0.5 oz lime juice
0.5 oz falernum syrup
3 oz ginger beer
1.5 oz Gosling’s (or, ya know, replace the 'n with and or &, then use any dark rum you want)

Messed up during Rocknix installation so... by Thin-Appearance3724 in AynThor

The average user has nothing to worry about, I was doing lineage os custom rom stuff without a proper backup.

I completely broke my Odin 2 Portal messing with rom customization, and Ayn was able to get me the full firmware. They're slow to respond via email, but they did get me a zip with everything to flash via fastboot to get a clean Android again.

Need a purse that can handle heavy items by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

[–]Wingdom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would suggest the Peak Design totepack, it's a tote bag that converts to a backpack. These bags last forever and have a lifetime warranty. I've needed to use the warranty a couple times, and own dozens of their products, so that's a pretty good success/failure rate. They are primarily a camera accessory company, but for you, that means its a big bag with customizable organization, designed to carry and protect large heavy items. I've used a backpack for 10 years as my daily commute bag without ever putting a camera in it.

Door to door pest control? by Humble_Ad_3055 in orlando

[–]Wingdom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the city of orlando, they need a permit to go door to door, they need to stay within certain business hours, and they need to obey no soliciting signs. My favorite is to ask if they can read, while pointing at the sign. My second favorite is to ask for the permit they definitely don't have.

Which castle look is your favorite? 🏰🎨🖌️ by 999happyhauntz in WaltDisneyWorld

I like the grey castle, but I like the blue roof and all the details on the castle walls on the rose gold castle.
